The family said proceeds would benefit the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, a 34-acre complex planned on donated land in Newtown. The center would honor the memory of Catherine, an animal lover and 6-year-old first grader who was among the 26 people killed in the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The sanctuary would provide state-of-the-art care for homeless animals and include a community-education center, plus areas for communing with nature, according to the foundation raising money to build it.
